Six businesses fail IC Police alcohol sale compliance check

Six bars and stores in Iowa City failed police alcohol sale compliance checks over the weekend.

Plainclothes ICPD officers working with underage people went into 22 businesses Saturday and tried to buy alcohol, police said. Sixteen bars, restaurants, and stores passed the test.

The six locations that failed the test were:

The Job Site, 928 Maiden Ln.

DC's Bar, 124 S Dubuque St.

Coach's Corner Sports Pub, 749 Mormon Trek Blvd.

Delimart, 525 Hwy 1 W

Creekside Market, 2601 Hwy 6E

Bardot, 347 S Gilbert St.

Police said employees who failed the test were charged with selling alcohol to persons under age 21, which is a simple misdemeanor. The penalty for a first offense is a $500 fine. The business that failed will also be referred to the Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division and could face penalties against their liquor license.
